And it looks like a female to you?

This is Ming Ming. I've had her/him since the very beginning of June. She was a pale yellow but has gotten darker progressively. Ming is one of 3, all a few days apart in age, but is a third of the size of the others. Ming doesn't make a sound at all ever which made me think it's a male but the...

Why

He bought it from someone who had hatched a bunch of ducks and were selling them at a bazaar (we live abroad).

We've had this duck since early June, it was probably a few days old when my son brought it home. I'm thinking it's a female because it's very vocal and sounds like a quack to Me.

How can you tellcthebdiffence between mallard and ruene?

This duck was found in my neighbors basement steps. There are no bodies of water near us but lots of people have pet ducks so I think someone let it go or it flew away. Any ideas on breed, sex and maybe about how old it might be? It was hissing and isn't very friendly.

These pictures were taken today. They are quick so I did my best. I will try again tomorrow in the day time.

My son brought the two bigger ones home around the first of June. They were a few days old at the time. The smaller yellow one he got the following week. It has not grown nearly as quickly as the other two. Today it was making a chirping noise. First noise I heard from it.

The yellow one is the most confusing for me. I think it's a male because it's the only one not to make any noise yet. It's also darker now on the tail.

I adopted these little guys. It's my first time with ducks. Any idea on breeds and sex? They are all about 6 to 8 weeks old. The little yellow makes no noise so far, the bigger two are very vocal. The pics are about a week old.

The plumpness is further back by the liver and gizzard area

So I examined her again today and her crop doesn't seem full. However the bone running right down the center of her chest, I assume its the breast bone, seperating the two breast, is really sticking out. And farther back she feels swollen or really plump, maybe full of air of liquid.

She has never layed an egg since I got her, which has been about a year now. She was eating when I woke up this morning so I did not get a chance to check her crop. How exactly do I do that, what am I feeling for? Give her B vitamins? Do I crush them and mix it with the food?

Here are some pics of her. Her feet were curled up and she doesn't stand just sits.

I found one of my hens today sitting alone in the corner of the yard. She is normally very active. When dusk came she did not attempt to get up and go inside the coop. She is normally one of the first to go inside. When everyone was in she still stayed in the corner. Her feet were very cold and...
